You're running around telling everyone Debian is easy to use, but how do you know? Eh? I mean, you "personally don't use the rails package". Yet that's your instructions to folks. Most people who do open source do it for love. I like working on Mongrel and it's fun, and I go to great lengths to help people out--even going so far as to install the distro with the most problems so I could iron things out. I even run Windows and try to do development there so I can help them. So don't characterize me as not doing enough for people using Debian. I find it the height of arrogance that you think I have to bend my project around that distro's horrible packaging mechanism--a mechanism **you don't even use**. But don't worry Dave. You've inspired me to put an end to the Debian problem once and for all. I've been avoiding this solution but I guess I'm gonna have to buckle down, keep the 0.3.13.4 release back another weekend, and finally solve Debian. Thanks for the motivator. -- Zed A.
